ATHREE.wEExs.o1p WITNESS.
Birth Marks that Established a
Charge and Convicted a Pris-
oner.

FRANKLIN, Pa, Feb. 15.--Some
weeks ago young woman named
Scott, who was soon to. become a
mother, appeared before a Mercer
county justice of the peace and swore
out a warrant of arrest of young
man named William Bloodgood, on
charge of assault and battery. Blood
good was arrested. The young wo-
man swore at the hearing that two
weeks previously Bloodgood had
come TO her house, and, as she object
ed to his remaining, he had choked
her nearly to insensibility, and twist
ed her left wrist, almost dislocating
it. She said the marks of his fingers
and thumb were visible on her throat
for several days, and her wrist had re-
manned crooked for some time. She
had no witness to substantiate her
statements or prove the assault.
Bloodgood admitted having been
present at the girls house at the time
of the alleged assault, but denied that
any had been made. He was held,
however, TO await trial at court.
Few believed that the girl had been
assaulted, and Bloodgood's discharge
was expected by his friends as soon as
court met. The case was called at the
present term Of the Mercer court. The
complainant appeared, carrying her
three weeks old baby. Her lawyer
put her on the stand, and she swore
that Bloodgood had assaulted her, as
stated, and that she was the mother
of the baby in her arms. A physician
corroborated the fact of that relation
ship. The lawyer then told the court
that, as the defense would ask for ac-
quittal OH the ground that there was
no evidence of any assault having
been committed, he offered as evil
dence cOrroborative of the plaintiils
testimony the baby she had in her
arms. The prosecuting lawyer took
the infant to the jury, and, uncover
ing its throat, revealed TO them the
distinct marks of four fingers on one
side of it, and the plain and unmis'
taxable impression of thumb on the
other. After these remarkable birth
marks had been examined by the ju-
ry, the lawyer uncovered the baby''
left wrist. 1t was twisted out Of
shape and swollen, as if it had been
suddenly wrenched. These marks
corresponded exactly with the in
Ijuries the child's mother swore she
had received at the hands of the pris'
oner Bloodgood, more than month
before 1t was born. The prisoner was
convicted.
